Diamond Pet Food Recall–Deja Vu

I swear I’m back in 2006 when I first heard about the Diamond pet food recall and all of the animals that were dying due to the containments found in their pet food. In 2005/6 it was aflatoxin.

In 2012 it’s Salmonella.

In 2006/7 we lost our two cats because we were naïve and didn’t know about pet foods. I didn’t know how dry pet foods are made. I honestly didn’t know any better.

But I do now.

Diamond pet foods are recalled once again. And they’ve expanded the recall twice. Need more information? Here’s a link: http://diamondpetrecall.com/diamond-expands-voluntary-recall/

Here are the brands that are included in the recall (so far):

• Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
• Country Value
• Diamond
• Diamond Naturals
• Premium Edge
• Professional
• 4Health
• Taste of the Wild

And here are the brands that Diamond makes:

• Canidae Pet Food
• Costco‘s Kirkland Signature
• Solid Gold Health Products for Pets
• Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods
• Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain (Available only at Costco)
• Taste of the Wild Pet Foods
• Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
• 4Health (Available only at Tractor Supply Company)
• NutraGold Super Premium Holistic Formulas

This is one of those causes that I feel strongly about. Our animals rely on us to feed them and we rely on the pet food manufacturers to make food that’s not going to harm them. Yet, more dogs and cats and dying AGAIN.

Why? And when will it stop?

It’s not just Diamond either. Right now there is also a large recall on chicken jerky treats.

PLEASE, for the sake of your pet’s health…PLEASE feed your pet better food. Please pay attention to labels and where it is manufactured and what type of ingredients are in it. Do the research.

Your dog or cat will thank you.

Sharing is fun!
